The rankings come just 18 days ahead of the reveal of the 24-team FCS Playoff Bracket.  This year's season will culminate with the FCS National Championship Game on Monday, January 5 at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. 

Tennessee Tech (9-0, 6-0 OVC-Big South) moved up three spots from the previous Top 10 reveal released three weeks ago. The Golden Eagles are 9-0 for only the second time in program history and first time since 1952. The team has won 14-straight games dating back to last season and ranks first nationally in scoring offense (47.9 points/game) and rushing defense (52.4 yards/game allowed) and fourth nationally in total defense (273.9 yards/game allowed).
